If your body feels off and what used to work for you is no longer working— your energy is lower, sleep is all over the place, weight is shifting, or your mood feels less stable — perimenopause may be part of the picture.

In this episode, Nutritional Therapist Alison Bladh joins us to explain what’s actually happening during perimenopause and how to support your body through this transition.

In this episode, we cover:

• What perimenopause is and the hormone shifts behind common symptoms
• Why metabolism and body composition change in midlife
• What influences timing and common misconceptions
• A balanced perspective on hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
• Simple strategies for blood sugar, nutrition, and sleep support
• Healing your relationship with food in midlife

If you’re navigating midlife — or want to feel more informed and prepared — this episode will help you feel clearer, calmer, and more confident in your next steps.
